Today is Day One of working with Organization Number 2 of the case-studies.* Apparently internships in Kenya are called Attachments. Don't know why I find that a weird name. Anywho, in comparison to Org. 1 where I basically reviewed documents and interviewed staff at my leisure, Org 2 has a timetable of all the things they want me to see and do. At the end, I am to present them with my observations of what they are doing well and what they can improve. I am nervous about giving them recommendations but oh well, that is part of what we do right? This is a two-way street after all. Today I go a crash course in all the projects the Org does. Tomorrow we move on to the environmental projects specifically. There are some field visits planned as well which I am excited to see.
I also had a You-are-not-in-America experience today when at 10:00 a lady walked in to the office where I was sitting with a bunch of cups and proceeded to serve us 10:00 o'clock tea. Whaaaat? Tea time? Brought to me? I could get used to this.
* If you are wondering why I haven't given names of the organizations I am working with, it is because Organization 1 asked to remain undisclosed and I am yet to clear a reveal with Organization 2.
